On August 2, 2022, the Twins traded Povich, Yennier Canó, Juan Nunez, and Juan Rojas to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for Jorge López.[6] He made two scoreless starts for the High–A Aberdeen IronBirds, and finished the year with the Double–A Bowie Baysox, for whom he recorded a 6.94 ERA with 26 strikeouts across six appearances.[7]

Povich split the 2023 season between the Double–A Bowie Baysox and Triple–A Norfolk Tides. In 28 starts between the two affiliates, he accumulated an 8–10 record and 5.04 ERA with 171 strikeouts across 126+23 innings of work.[8]
